pelespirit@sh.itjust.worksIt’s the kind of funny that makes you almost laugh out loud, but it’s more smart and a fun process. It’s like the really smart meme kind of funny. I would compare it to a fake sneeze because it’s an almost laugh, but a lot more fun.
“Dry humor” maybe, for the style?
Did some searching and one term that came up was the German word “Schmunzeln” which I hadn’t heard of before.
wiktionary describes it as:
to smile slightly, smirk (not smugly, but in an amused or contented way; e.g. when witnessing an amusing scene or conversation)
Not sure if that’s quite right or not, but might be what you’re looking for if you want a word to describe the reaction? (Maybe someone who actually speaks German can confirm…)

Amusement? That’s when it’s funny inside, but you don’t let the laugh out
